Sorry, KP,
Understandably you have a jaundiced view of marriage. :o
Whereas Margo and I have our Silver Wedding to look forward to this year. 8-)
Hence the excitement prompted this (serious) quiz. ::)

[barbelman]

The only ones I know are;
2 Pearl
5 Emerald
9 two years
16 one year

and I'll guess at;
4 Sapphire
14 three years
20 four years
15 five years

Excellent start, Tony, all correct apart from having the answers to Q20 and Q15 round the wrong way. (4th year is Linen and 5th year is Wool.) But 8 points nonetheless.

Leader:
[glow=red,2,300]Barbelman 8pts[/glow]

[Herr von Puebik]

1 China (not the country)
3 Coral
7 8 years
8 9 years
10 15 years
11 6 years
13 13 years
18 12 years
19 11 years

Sorry for the delay, answers are on an ornate plate hanging up in our kitchen and had to come home first before I could mark it !

Okay, eight right out of nine.
Only blemish is your answer to number eight, which funnily enough is the correct answer to one of the other questions !

So, joint leaders:

1= Barbelman 8pts
1= Herr van Puebik 8pts

Just Q6, Q8, Q12 & Q17 to get.

You've only actually added one correct one that hasn't been answered before, Beefy, which is Question 12) : Ivory is indeed the 14th Wedding Anniversary.

In answer to your query against Q15), linen is 4th and cotton is 2nd - as correctly answered by Barbelman.

1= Barbelman 8pts
1= Herr van Puebik 8pts
3. Beefy 1pt

Just three now to get - Q6, Q8 & Q17.

[Herr von Puebik]

I'll have another bash

6 10 yrs
8 7 yrs
17 8 yrs

There seems to be a difference between traditional and modern

6) and 8) are correct, but your answer "8 years" for number 17) has already been given as correct for number 7).

So just one more to get, and you should be able to work it out by elimination. ;)

Leaderboard:
1. Herr van Puebik 10pts
2. Barbelman 8pts
3. Beefy 1pt

[Herr von Puebik]

[margo]

the woman should get a medal after 24 years for what we have to put up with -snoring for starters.
